"I'll Be Seeing You"
is a popular song, with music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Irving Kahal. Published
in 1938, it was inserted into the Broadway musical Right This Way, which closed
after fifteen performances. In the musical it was performed by the singer Tamara
Drasin, who had a few years earlier introduced "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes".
The song is a jazz standard, and has been covered by many musicians.
Ginger Rogers (July 16,
1911 – April 25, 1995) was an American actress, dancer, and singer, widely
known for performing in films and RKO's musical films, partnered with Fred
Astaire. She
appeared on stage, as well as on radio and television, throughout much of the
20th century.
Born in Independence,
Missouri and raised in Kansas City, Rogers and her family moved to Fort Worth,
Texas, when she was nine years old. After winning a 1925 Charleston dance
contest that launched a successful vaudeville career, she gained recognition as
a Broadway actress for her debut stage role in Girl Crazy. This success led to
a contract with Paramount Pictures, which ended after five films. Rogers had
her first successful film role as a supporting actress in 42nd Street(1933).
Throughout the 1930s, Rogers made 10 films with Astaire, among which were some
of her biggest successes, such as Swing Time(1936) and Top Hat(1935). After two commercial failures
with Astaire, Rogers began to branch out into dramatic films and comedies. Her
acting was well received by critics and audiences, and she became one of the
biggest box-office draws of the 1940s. Her
performance in Kitty Foyle(1940) won her the Academy Award for Best Actress.
I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through.
In that small cafe;
The park across the way;
The children's carosel;
The chestnut trees;
The wishin' well.
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day;
In everything that's light and gay.
I'll always think of you that way.
I'll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you.
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day;
In everything that's light and gay.
I'll always think of you that way.
I'll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you.
